Understanding the Complex Causes of Women's Hair Thinning
For women in Plano, McKinney, and Frisco, noticing thinning hair or a widening part can be an emotionally challenging experience. Unlike common male patterns, female hair loss often presents diffusely, affecting overall volume and confidence. At Dr. Plano Hair, board-certified surgeon Dr. Jeff Angobaldo provides a compassionate, medically-grounded approach specifically tailored to the unique causes and patterns of women’s hair loss. We are dedicated to helping you restore not just your hair, but your sense of self.
Diagnosing female hair loss requires a nuanced understanding of physiology and lifestyle. Dr. Angobaldo begins with a thorough, empathetic consultation to identify the underlying factors contributing to your thinning. Common causes we address include:
This hereditary condition leads to diffuse thinning across the crown with preservation of the frontal hairline. It’s influenced by genetics and hormone sensitivity.
A widespread shedding often triggered by significant stress, childbirth (postpartum hair loss), surgery, illness, or sudden weight change.
Changes due to menopause, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), thyroid disorders, or changes in birth control can directly impact the hair growth cycle.
Insufficient iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and other essential nutrients can starve hair follicles, leading to increased shedding and weakened growth.
